Chia Revisited

This entry is a re-posting of an early
bit of information about chia seeds.

Also re-posted are the links.

CHIA:

Chia seed is the richest non-marine whole food source of Omega-3 and dietary fiber currently known to man and nutritionally superior to flax and soy. (Who knew?)

Chia seed promotes cardiovascular health, assists joint function & mobility, improves digestion & natural detoxification, and supports healthy weight loss:

Healthy No-Flour Crackers and Five-Minute Hummus

I joined Pinterest the other day. I recommend you check it out.

I found both recipes there and they were both easy to make. They are tasty, too. :-)

The Endurance Cracker recipe (contains: sesame seed, chia seeds, pepita seeds, sunflowers seeds) as well as the 5-Minute Spicy Hummus can be found on my "Healthy Eating" Board at Pinterest.

Dying to Have Known

I just watched the documentary,  Dying to Have Known.

In this documentary, filmmaker Steve Kroschel went on a 52-day journey to find evidence to the effectiveness of the Gerson Therapy – a long-suppressed natural cancer cure.

I found it informative. Maybe you will, too.

Forks Over Knives. I watched this documentary again (Netflix instant play). I highly recommend this important film on nutrition. I have linked the website: http://www.forksoverknives.com/.

 Dr. Lance Dreher has sound advice (re: pH/Alkalinity).

Please take a look at Solutions by Dr. Fitness if you are interested in keeping your body healthy. I have posted the link before, but I feel the need to post it again.

Saint Patrick's Day

   

I thought I'd post a few links for Saint Patrick Day's recipes with some healthy substitutions since March 17th is right around the corner. (I was able to open these links without membership or registration.)

 I have included a link about beer 'benefits' and history,  some fun facts about Saint Patrick's Day and a link to crafts.

I received an email forward from my sister; it was suggested that I forward it to my friends. What I decided to do is cut-and-paste the email here and add links to articles concerning lemons and limes and their beneficial nature. 

I drink 32 ounces of lemon water every morning to keep my pH alkaline. I have archived posts on pH at this blog.

The email read as follows:

 

[ This is something that we should all take seriously. Even doctors are now saying that there is value in trying LEMON. So, a tablespoon of "real lemon" (the concentrate in a bottle) in a glass of water every morning. What can it hurt?  This is the latest in medicine, effective for cancer! Read carefully & you be the judge. Lemon (Citrus) is a miraculous product to kill cancer cells. It is 10,000 times stronger than chemotherapy.  Why do we not know about that?  Because there are laboratories interested in making a synthetic version that will bring them huge profits. You can now help a friend in need by letting him/her know that lemon juice is beneficial in preventing the disease. Its taste is pleasant and it does not produce the horrific effects of chemotherapy. How many people will die while this closely guarded secret is kept, so as not to jeopardize the beneficial multimillionaires large corporations?  As you know, the lemon tree is known for its varieties of lemons and limes. You can eat the fruit in different ways: you can eat the pulp, juice press, prepare drinks, sorbets, pastries, etc... It is credited with many virtues, but the most interesting is the effect it produces on cysts and tumors. This plant is a proven remedy against cancers of all types. Some say it is very useful in all variants of cancer. It is considered also as an anti microbial spectrum against bacterial infections and fungi, effective against internal parasites and worms, it regulates blood pressure which is too high and an antidepressant, combats stress and nervous disorders. The source of this information is fascinating: it comes from one of the largest drug manufacturers in the world, says that after more than 20 laboratory tests since 1970, the extracts revealed that: It destroys the malignant cells in 12 cancers, including colon, breast, prostate, lung and pancreas...The compounds of this tree showed 10,000 times better than the product Adriamycin, a drug normally used chemotherapeutic in the world, slowing the growth of cancer cells. And what is even more astonishing: this type of therapy with lemon extract only destroys malignant cancer cells and it does not affect healthy cells. Institute of Health Sciences, 819 N. L.L.C.
